FRESNO””The diverse sounds of Armenian Public Radio filled St. Paul Armenian Church’s Berberian Hall, as the Charlie Keyan Armenian Community School hosted its 38th annual banquet.  The band highlighted the evening program celebrating the school’s recent achievements and saluting its patrons.

Mistress of Ceremonies, the Honorable Judge Houry Sanderson of the Fresno County Superior Court, welcomed the more than 150 community members in attendance and introduced the CKACS Student Council who led the audience in the Pledge of Allegiance and the Armenian national anthem, Mer Hairenik. Fr. Yessai Bedros, Pastor of the St. Paul Armenian Church, gave the invocation.
